Why Am I Having Purple Bulging Veins Behind Low-hanging Tonsils?

Purple buldging veins behind low-hanging tonsils. No pain, just recently since my left wisdom tooth is growing in. I'm aware of the sore throat symptom with wisdom teeth growth but that veins been there for like 3 months now. Blood clot? Cancer? I'm honestly scared to death here.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have purple bulging veins behind low-hanging tonsils is due to swollen tonsils along with little blood which seems to be due to tonsillitis.Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin for 5 days in combination with anti-inflammatory medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test done and go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
